I waited till Zoë was asleep because thats what I always did then when I was sureshe was sleeping I drifted off to sleep.
I woke up in the closet again and I saw the flashlight roll under the door.
"Thank you."
I said although the person didnt respond I felt the need to say thanks.
"Little me are you in here?"
I asked and i turned on the flashlight.
"Yes my child."
She smiled and it was so creepy.
"Why do you call me a child if you're a younger version of me."
I asked.
"Erk because I am more mature and I know more of your future."
She said.
"Whatever you're still kinda a runt."
I shugged and sat down.
"You just called yourself a runt."
She said.
"I know i was a runt at that age and just like a runt i was the last left behind alone from the litter."
I sighed.
"And just like a runt that was rejected you grow stronger than the rest of the litter."
Mini me smiled although it was still creepy.
"I don't feel strong."
I said.
"Thats because you havent fully awakened yet my child."
She said with her creepy red eyes which was the only thing that wasnt like me other than that she looked just like me when i was younger.
"Can I ask you something?"
I asked.
"You just did."
She said.
"No you little runt what I was gonna ask is why did you haunt my sisters dreams for so long?"
I asked.
"I was once a part of you're sister I was her fear, misery, and sorrow but that left her when you took me from her so she will no longer have night terrors."
She said.
"So does that mean you'll be here in my dreams every night?"
I asked.
"Yes and you might see me in other places of your mind and soul also but for now i'm only in your dreams."
She said.
"Good."
I smiled.
"G-good?"
She looked up confused.
"Yes you wont be confusing my sister anymore so good."
I smiled.
"But you know how bad the nightmares get are you not afraid?"
She asked.
"No as long as she doesnt have to deal with them then I won't be afraid."
I smiled.
"Y-you are a strange runt."
She said confused.
"Thats okay I don't like to be read anyways so the more people are confused about ms the better."
I smiled.
"You have earned something new my little runt."
She said.
"You have earned courage."
She smiled.
"Is that a good thing?"
I asked.
"Yes my dear that means you have the strength to live for another day."
She said.
"Yeah another day."
I repeated.
The flashlight flickered.
"Its time my child you have to return to the real world."
She said.
"I don't really want to but I will because my sister is waiting for me and I can't leave her."
I smiled.
"Good bye little runt we will meet again the next time you enter your mind."
She smiled and covered the flashlight and everything went dark then light.
I woke up in the bed and Zoë wasnt awake yet.
She was smiling ever so slightly as though she was having a pleasant dream for once and this made me happy.
I quietly got out of the bed and got clothes out of the bag Liz gave us.
I pulled out a half shirt that said devil and jeans.
I looked at the time it was six on the dot and I wondered if anyone was even up.
I quietly opened the door and walked out and I tried to find the bathroom but this mansion was very large.
I wandered until I felt someone near me.
"Chloe you're up already?"
I spun around and Kid was behind me and I let out a sigh or relief.
"You scared me."
I whispered.
"Sorry, Oh how did you sleep?"
He asked.
"Good thanks."
I smiled.
"And Zoë?"
He asked.
"Still asleep...She wont have nightmares ever again so she can rest easy."
I smiled then sighed remembering my mini me.
"How can you be so sure?"
Kid asked.
"I don't know if I can tell you."
I sighed.
"What do you mean you know you can trust me."
Kid said.
"Yeah but would she want me to tell you..."
I sighed and i wondered if mini me would scold me or call me a runt.
"Who Zoë?"
He asked.
"N-no."
I said.
"So then who?"
Kid asked.
"You're gonna think i'm crazy."
I sighed.
"N-no I wont juge."
Kid said.
"Okay then"
I sighed.
"When I entered Zoë's body she had a nightmare of me being locked up again and it was a replay of when she slid a flashlight under thd door for me..."
I said.
"And when I turned on the flashlight I saw a child crying...that child was a younger version of me except she didnt sound like me at all she sounder older."
I said.
"She told me that she haunted her dreams If I wanted my sister to stop suffering I would have to let her enter me instead and I allowed her to."
I said.
"Now I see her everytime i fall asleep and we talk although she doesnt seem mean she is like me except shes my fear my sorrow and my misery but as long as I have her in me then she wont hurt Zoë."
I frowned.
"Hmp sounds like Soul's little demon."
Kid said.
"Who?"
I asked.
"You will meet him today he has this also but for a different reason."
Kid said.
"Oh okay."
I sighed
"Whats her name?"
Kid asked.
"I really don't know she said she is me so I call her mini me and she calls me well...Never mind I don't wanna tell you."
I pouted.
"W-why not?"
Kid asked.
"Because then you'll start calling me that too and its only okay when she does it because shes me."
I crossed my arms.
"I won't call you whatever it is."
Kid said.
"She calls me "runt" or "child" and sometimes "my child" although shes the child she says she knows my future and is more mature than I."
I said.
"Thats confusing."
Kid said.
"Please don't tell anyone especially not Zoë or she'll cry and beg me to put mini me back in her so I dont have to take the terrors."
I begged.
"I won't but if she gets wild or anything please tell me."
Kid said.
"Yeah okay.
I smiled.
"Were you looking for the bathroom?"
He asked and looked at the clothes I held.
"Yeah..."
I said.
"One left and a right."
Kid said.
"Oh okay thanks."
I said.
"Hey Chloe."
Kid said.
"Yeah?"
I asked.
"Who knew you actually had a heart?"
Kid laughed.
"Who knew you actually had a brain."
I rolled my eyes.
"You can so much for your sister its sweet."
Kid smiled.
"Yeah I'll give my life for her just so long as she has a happy life unlike me."
I smiled.
"I promise you'll have a happy life from now on."
Kid smiled.
"Thanks Kid...for everything."
I said and walked off.
